Wave Online Accounting Credit Notes

Wave Online Accounting is free cloud accounting software that you can use to easily do your bookkeeping and invite your online accountant to log in and use your bookkeeping to do your accounts and tax returns. We have more pages about Wave Online Accounting here.

Wave Online Accounting still doesn’t have a credit note facility yet, but there is a workaround to post and allocate credit notes on Wave.

To post a credit note on Wave, you have to create a new invoice with negative amounts.

Then to allocate the credit note against the invoice, you need to create a positive income transaction and a negative income transaction in the bank account. Both amounts need to be for the total credit value, so that they offset each other in the bank account and don’t change the bank balance. Then you need to allocate the positive receipt against the invoice, and the negative receipt against the credit note.

That’s it!
